I finally got to burn some powder!
« on: April 29, 2011, 03:53:10 PM »
 I finally got to shoot Clara ( my G.B. Parrot named after Clara Barton) for the first time today. I only got off six shots before this Ks wind ruined the fun. :'( I just wanted to say thanks to Ed ,at HMR cannons, for his work. This green horn would also like to thank all of you for your helpful posts and information.

That's a good looking rig, dittles; happy to read that Miss Barton has been baptized by fire.
RIP John. While on vacation July 4th 2013 in northern Wisconsin, he was ATVing with family and pulled ahead of everyone and took off at break-neck speed without a helmet. He lost control.....hit a tree....and the tree won.  He died instantly.

The one thing that you can almost always rely on research leading to, is more research.

Ummm...I hate to be the one that brings this up dittles, but where are the baptismal pictures?  ???    I mean we want to see smoke and flame!!   ;D

Welcome to the board and a nice looking setup for sure.  Ed makes good stuff.  Just remember, this is an addiction.
